The selected consultant/firm will design a cost-effective smallholder farmer training and extension model, using an existing base of materials and manuals to be tailored to meet Countryside’s specific needs and requirements. The training strategy, methodology and delivery plan will then be implemented by Countryside’s dairy hub extension team over a one-year pilot across 2 dairy hub locations.
A core component of the technical design of the dairy hub model is the development of a farmer segmentation and loyalty tier system. Central to the dairy hub concept is a low-cost opportunity to generate farmer loyalty as the farmers realise the value to their net incomes through the hub’s extension, procurement and add-on services. It is essential for the financial sustainability of the model to allocate scarce training resources to farmers in the hub’s catchment area, so that the support is optimised to farmers that are consistent and reliable through increased sales to company. Scope of work Contract consultancy to develop a dairy hub farmer training model, set-up a pilot and provide implementation support.
